Excerpt: Map of Iran 's major crops, circa 1978.A Lahijan tea farm during harvest time, northern Iran. Roughly one-third of Iran 's total surface area is suited for farmland, but because of poor soil and lack of adequate water distribution in many areas, most of it is not under cultivation. Only 12 % of the total land area is under cultivation (arable land, orchards and vineyards) but less than one-third of the cultivated area is irrigated; the rest is devoted to dry farming. Some 92 percent of agro products depend on water. The western and northwestern portions of the country have the most fertile soils. Iran's food security index stands at around 96 percent. One third of the total land area (35 %) is used for grazing and small fodder production. Most of the grazing is done on mostly semi-dry rangeland in mountain areas and on areas surrounding the large deserts ("Dasht's") of Central Iran. The non-agricultural surface represents 53 % of the total area of Iran, as follows: At the end of the 20th century, agricultural activities accounted for about one-fifth of Iran's gross domestic product (GDP ) and employed a comparable proportion of the workforce. Most farms are small, less than 25 acres (10 hectares), and thus are not economically viable, which has contributed to the wide-scale migration to cities. In addition to water scarcity and areas of poor soil, seed is of low quality and farming techniques Books, , Agriculture-In-Iran~~Books-Llc, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
